The classic work on three German expeditions to the Cordillera Blanca in 1932, 1936, and 1939 on which a number of first ascents were made. Three-quarters of the large-format book are devoted to photos from the expeditions and there is a very nice large map of the range. This is a companion volume to Kinzl’s ‘Cordillera Huayhuash Perú’ published in 1955. Text in English, German, and Spanish. Quite scarce.
